RE: [RC] [RC] Horsepool for the Alabama Yellowhammer ride? - REVISED - Jody Rogers-Buttram

Ok. Knew I did something wrong.  I have a jr. and she is 11.  Should be just the right age to make for a good little slave...wrong !!!!  They won't work for MAMMA.   I sent her to horse camp this summer, worked like a dog for 2 weeks.  Cleaned stalls, cleaned tack, carried water.... went to a 2-day ride last weekend, just her and me....it was a fight the whole time just to get her to halfway do things at the vetchecks.  She is sooo used to Daddy being there to do for her. I know, I messed up somewhere along the line, but I am the kind of person that if we are in a time pinch, just get out of the way and I can do it faster and better.  So, I suppose I am paying for it now. 
Come to think it, I did the same thing with the last hubby.  He wasn't worth a flip at vetchecks either.  This is hubby is trained much better than him.  :)

You must get young juniors.  I started bringing along a just-past-junior teenager and I can?t even get her up most of the time to take care of her own horse!

think Karen missed one thing that the hauling person has to do: clean the trailer when they get home from the trip which I personally feel is a huge pain! (pick up manure, rinse off the flooring, tidy up the tack area/rearrange to how it was before you made room for another rider, pick up loose hay, wash/scrub the bugs of the front of the truck and trailer).

Take juniors.  They pay their part, vet your horse in, do all the work and will come over the next day and clean your trailer and camper.....My boyfriend power washes it and waxes it after every trip.  He also washes the truck and trailer before a ride.  I keep telling him it will get trashed but he says I just can't go to a ride with a dirty truck and trailer.
